We study the ground-state entanglement of two halves of a critical transverse Ising chain, separated by an interface defect. From the relation to a two-dimensional Ising model with a defect line we obtain an exact expression for the continuously varying effective central charge. The result is relevant also for other fermionic chains.

    An SL(2,C)-parametrized family of exactly solvable non-unitary conformal interfaces is constructed on the lattice in unitary CFTs via analytic continuation, leading to a non-unitary Cardy condition and logarithmic ent...

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Analytic continuation of marginal couplings produces complex CFTs, with no genuinely complex rational CFTs existing, and exact defect results verified in non-Hermitian Ising and fermion chains.
